You always read these books and expect short timelines, kind of instant love and some pretty decent if not corny dialog. And this book had all of it.

Grave Danger is about Chloe being in danger from someone from her past and how she unravels everything with Weston’s help.
Defenders of Battle Mountain is an all-new series with serial killers hell-bent on destroying the peace of this small town!
Trigger Warning: Claustrophobia
Synopsis:
Dr Chloe Pascale, a former cardiothoracic surgeon is at the small and remote mining town of Battle Mountain, hiding from a killer after assuming a false identity. Weston Ford is the town’s police chief who’s as intrigued as he is wary of the town’s newest resident. But when a murder takes place in the sleepy town, he needs Chloe’s help to find out about the killer.
Review:
The story starts in the creepiest and chilling way possible with the doc about to be killed three months ago. Moving on, while she’s alive, there’s a murder which she has to help investigate, and which is eerily similar to what happened with her all those months ago.
I love it when parents are introduced in the story and this had his pretty early on. In a place as secluded and beautiful as Whispering Pines Ranch, where the both of them hole up till they find any leads as to who is behind the shooting and killings.
Around the middle of the book, grief slams into you, but life has to go on, especially with a deranged killer on the loose. And the way the author spun the story, it felt that it all would be over midway because some of the secrets along with the killer are revealed. In that way, there isn’t a moment of rest in the story.
The story continues to hurtle toward a scary but mind-blowing ending, and what I love about [a:Nichole Severn|5763145|Nichole Severn|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1544285676p2/5763145.jpg]Severn’s books stays: her strong heroines, supportive and protective heroes, that not everything can be like before/perfect, but that life still goes on…
Thank you to the author for an e-ARC of the book.

She was sunshine wrapped in a hurricane on the darkest of days, and he wasn’t sure he’d ever recover—that he wanted to recover—once this investigation ended.

I haven't read a Harlequin book in so long and this was a fantastic story.
A serial killer, who is next and why? She's on the run, changed her name and career and yet is still found. Who is the killer and what connections does he have to locate her? Who is next to die and will she and her new friends survive?
Such an exciting tale and I had no idea of the twist. Great plot, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I wanted to love this book; however, the plot felt very segmented. The story didn't flow well. I also found it incredibly sad. I don't plan to continue the series.
